I Love L.A. Lyrics
Artist: Randy Newman
Album: Trouble In Paradise
Hate New York City
It's cold and it's damp
And all the people dressed like monkeys
Let's leave Chicago to the Eskimos
That town's a little bit too rugged
For you and me you bad girl
Rollin' down the Imperial Highway
With a big nasty redhead at my side
Santa Ana winds blowin' hot from the north
And we as born to ride
Roll down the window put down the top
Crank up the Beach Boys baby
Don't let the music stop
We're gonna ride it till we just can't ride it no more
>From the South Bay to the Valley
>From the West Side to the East Side
Everybody's very happy
'Cause the sun is shining all the time
Looks like another perfect day
I love L.A. (We love it)
I love L.A. (We love it)
Look at that mountain
Look at those trees
Look at that bum over there, man
He's down on his knees
Look at these women
There ain't nothin' like 'em nowhere
Century Boulevard (We love it)
Victory Boulevard (We love it)
Santa Monica Boulevard (We love it)
Sixth Street (We love it, we love it)
I love L.A.
I love L.A.
(We love it)

Comments/Interpretations
LAKERS RULE
I love this song!!!
Lakers for the championship,
Boston for 2nd.
LA rules
I get very emotional to this song, especially whenever the LAKERS win a championship, I cry my eyes out because it is the anthem of my favorite, and my city, that unites people of all color, race, and gender together as 1, just like if everyone was a neighbor.
GO LAKERS!!!!!!!!!
Lakers all the way babeeeeeee!!! M.V.P, M.V.P, M.V.P!
You guys do get that this is irony, right? He's making fun of LA.
GO LAKERS...beat Boston.
Lakers DO Rule I am a Big lakers Fan I Love The Lakers alot and the Lakers Girls are HOTT too I LOVE THis song and Its gets me Emotional with Goosebumps win the hear tHis song the Lakers Win the Championship I hope they do!!!GO Lakers GO WIN WIN WIN!
Your right there is irony in this song, but its LA irony and we love irony in LA we can make fun of ourselves but we LOVE LA So ese, it captures the city vato
I'm with you 100%, Jasmine! Notice how there's no "I Love Boston" song....
I love L.A. and the Lakers !
Ain't lookin' so good for the La La Land Lakers now, is it?
regardless of basketball. los angeles is such an amazing city.. all of southern california really soooo many cities. i would hate to live in boston.only good thing they have there is asian food.
Actually it's lookin' good for LA after today's game- GO LAKERS! Good job, and thank you for a GRRRREAT Father's Day! (My dad's a Come on, LA- tie it up! We still in the fight- "Not In OUR House!" Celtics are close, but it ain't over yet, baby- Lakers ain't givin' it to ya THAT easy ;) Yup, Laker fans: we LOVERS, not haters :P
knicks fan says lets go lakers beat the celtics
we beat l.a.
you may have beat LA, but you still have to live in boston. by the way, since your last ring, we've had more than our fare share of parades. welcome back to relevance after 20 years in the can...LAKE SHOW BABY
Lakers > all
GO DODGERS!
We've had so many parades, we're almost tired of them. Yeah, it's terrible living in Boston, where things are actually interesting.
Oh and also, I wouldn't be so quick to pound your chest after getting giving up a 24 point lead in one game and getting completely embarrassed in game 6. Not 7, GAME 6.
One more thing. How are those Dodgers doing? Are they still around?
Go Blue!!!
Go Dodgers!!
go dodgers !!!!
go bruins !!!!!
GO DODGER BLUE !!!!!!
"There's some kind of ignorance L.A. has that I'm proud of. The open car and the redhead, the Beach Boys... that sounds really good to me." - Randy Newman
Is that making fun of L.A.?
GO DODGERS!!!!
Randy Newman has a great sense of irony, but I am pretty sure he does, or at least did at the time he wrote this song, love LA. And what's not to love. It's true, Boston is a terrible place to live, especially compared to LA, and by the way the Asian food here is AWFUL, I don't know where you would have heard otherwise.
GO DODGERS! We love Em...
GO D O D G E R S!
I LOVE LA!!!
GO DODGERS! THINK BLUE!!!
Thank you Dodgers, LA and fans for riddding us of the LOSER CUBS for another year.
Good luck in the NLCS!!
GO LA DODGERS, BEAT THE PHILLIES! lET'S GO ALL THE WAY TO THE WORLD SERIES.
Of course..DODGERS are still around..so much that they are playing in the NLCS!?!??! GO BLUE!
Dodgers and the Sox in the Series, sounds good to me. GO BLUE!
Left Foot, Right Foot, Left Foot, Right Foot...
LETS GO DODGERS! TROJANS! KINGS! LAKERS!
I <3 L.A.
everyone who wrote that this is a LAKERS song just shtu the f*** up this is a dodgers song....the lakers suck go clippers but best of all go dodgers go blue crew we play this after every win...GO BLUE
You guys realize that this song's a satire, right?
Go Dodgers!!!!!!! Think Blue goo Lakers!!!!! I LOVE LA its all about every team in LA except the angels and clippers
Good Riddance dodgers, leave the World Series to the real ballplayers.
That is the last time you will see Manny Ramirez in a dodger blue . . .
mqe ~ close but not ironic... I think the word you are looking for is facetious or satiric.
rob ~ you are quoting RN after he made millions on the song. When he wrote it he did say it was in jest.
LA is a dump...but this song rocks!
would like to get back to oxnard
Proud to be an LA native; proud to use this song as the grand finale of my automatic music playlist on MySpace; if this song isn't already LA's official city anthem, it should be.
I grew up loving this song and loving the Dodgers. Think Blue!
Hey mqe, eat a dick! Randy Newman is LA! Go listen to Jay Z.
This song epitomises L.A..I think of it when I fly into L.A. and sing it when leaving regardless who's next to me.
Yeah, I see a lot of Boston tattoos.. homie ** cough -not- cough***please. Or any other city for that matter. You ain't down for your city unless you're rockin in. Come on down, we will show you ours. I went to Boston. Damn people swear they never seen something as bad ass as my LA HOMIE!
This song is not ironic in the least in comparison to that other take on LA life, "My Life is Good."
I Love L.A.!!! I Love LA Lakers!!!
C'Mon Purple and Gold our time is now!!! We gotta win the big one!
how is this irony? if you've been to la, all of this is pretty much true!
p.s. goooo lakers!!!
Great song.
Este aņo, con Gasol a la cabeza los Lakers se enfundan el anillo. We can !! Go Lakers
I love LA!
I love LA!
I love LA!
I love LA!
I love LA!
I love LA!
I love LA!
I wish I would have stayed true to my city and been a Laker...look at all these studs

We LOVE LA! thank you very much!
Can the Lakers please stop kicking our ass? It's really embarassing and we have to keep saying childish things like "We're still the champs, man", Thanks!
no mamen
what the hell is everyone talkin about sports and pretending to be professional basketball players on a cookie-cutter lyrics website for?
lets go DODGERS!
;D i love l.a
I LOVE L.A.
definitely better than boston in almost every way. the only thing boston has that l.a. doesnt is the american history. other than that l.a. kicks boston's ass.
Go lakers, I am sure they will win it all this year. Its too bad that all of these weak ass Laker haters will fade back into the woodwork like the cowards they all are. L.A. is the place, born and raised here, all Laker haters suck, especially nesren in orange county who does not have a sports identity but does have an inferiority complex for one reason or another and decides only to hate Laker fans rather than come up with a take of her own about a sports team of her own. You suck nesrin!!! Its funny how these Laker haters hide behind talk radio to get off their stupid takes. Come on out to staples boys and girls and hang out in the parking lot and run those takes publicly. I highly doubt that will happen!
we love it!
Go Dodgers, best team in baseball. Shout out to Laker fans, don't get discouraged about last nights game 1 loss to Houston. The Lakers will win this in 6. See ya all at the parade!!!
i love LA and i LOVE the Dodgers! i love how they play this song at the end of all dodger games! im always on my seat singing it loud and proud!
Go Doyers! Chorizos of Steel!
Beat the Magics!
I love this song, our city, our Lakers, and our Dodgers! Hating is an ignorant/uneducated form of flattery.
Wooo lakers 2009 champs BBy
I LOVE LA!!
L.A. is the #1 city. This song is on the money. We will win again next year. Go Lakers!!!
I love LA too!!!!
Boston for 2nd? come on now, boston didn't even make it to the conference finals. how can you call them 2nd? love this song
i love la
I FUCKING LOVE YOU, MANNY!
Im indian, and respected so well in LA. Agoura hills all the way!!
and the one thing i love the most about LA is the landscape!!! you have the city, the mountains and the beach! New York Sucks!!!! IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII LLLOOOOVVEEE LOS ANGELES

I Love this song, and I from Argentina, I love the scene of leslie nielsen, in the naked gun also haha grettings from argentina
Seriously??? Its a song lyrics board and you are talking about basketball??? Well, Im a Laker fan and born in raised in LA... and I DO love LA... even though we are infested with mexicans...
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE END this Celtics nightmare Lets go LAKERS
FYI Adam...it's infested with white, anglo-saxon, euro-trash. Los Angeles is MEXICAN.
GO LAKERS!
GO DODGERS!
LA is number one again and will be forever, GOD is a Laker fan :), Celtics suck, more than half of their total championships were in one decade where there were not so quality opponents, where as Lakers have consistantly produced championships. Even this year, look at Boston's division, it is a joke. GO LAKERS, we will 3peat again, Championship # 17 to tie the loosers from the East.
if u r a laker fan then u know what song plays every time they win a game right...well the reason everybody is talking about basketball is thats this song has unofficially become the LAKERS ANTHEM
This is not just the dodger or laker or anyother team in LA'S anthem. IT is LA's song for all the team that are truly in LA.
I LOVE LA!<3333333
GOO DODGERS!!!!<33
GOO LAKERS!!!!!<33
AND GOO LA!!<33333
i love LA !!!!!!!!!!!!
Lakers Rock!!!! Kobe is SSSOOO AWESOME!!!!
GGGGGGOOOOO Lakers!
GGGGOOOOOOO Dodgers!
Andre Eithier ROCKS!!!
I've lived in both Boston and LA. I can tell you (from experience) that LA is a WAY better place to live. I mean, it's not even close. One more thing...GO LAKERS!!!
Love the comments guys. keep it up. by the way I think norte dame is way better than the laqnkers bit it's just my humble opinion right right? Haha that's a mr. Crowell type of joke, you know the chemistry teach hahaha if you don't then you haven't lived your life. Now, go eat a churro with sr. Duran!
LAKERS4LIFE
Ewe guise are awl morons! It reely lessons the impact of you're arguemints wen ewe idiots cant even spell good. Your all dumm.
what year was this song?????
I love LA! FIGHT ON 'SC!
i love L.A Marathon anthem!!
I always think of the movie "The Naked Gun" when I hear this song. Leslie Nielsen as the umpire. Classic. "Hey, It's Enrico Palattzo!!"
dude no he is not making fun of LA...what are you talking about
you all delusional people know that without the officials help the lakers are done, oh and by the way they got swept by the mav's. the one and only reason the lakers have had their success is the NBOA
Classic song!!!
Lakers are back tonight !
This song is on mr bean the movie
bg gfftyiyudrty
Every born and bred LA person totally gets this song! It sums up the feeling of living the life here and you can just feel the joy of the city in Newman's happy anthem.
Yeah ... no place like it. I love it; can't imagine living anywhere else.
gotta love Randy Newman. He is the man when it comes to layered meanings. How many songwriters can consistently produce something like this? He's simultaneaously making fun of and celebrating LA! You can feel the love with the wink. Compared to the rest of the country LA is a wonderland where even the bum on the sidewalk cannot distract from the beautiful scenery; somehow he becomes a piece of the fun. If Laker fans listened to more of Randy Newman they might learn something and become more complex individuals...but then again It's another perfect day. I love it!
Do none of you simpletons understand this song at all? I weep for humanity.
Randy Newman's ''I love La,'' should be LA's theme song. It captures all of the deep primal feelings. My wife and I will perform this song on the 3rd St promenade. We'd love it.
GO KINGS GO!!!!! I LOVE L.A.
This song was the best part of The Naked Gun!
Century Boulevard (We love it)
Victory Boulevard (We love it)
Santa Monica Boulevard (We love it)
Sixth Street (We love it, we love it)
Working in Connecticut now, it's like being in a Redneck Land without Southern manners, and either COLD or muggy hot. I'll take LA over the East Coast any day!!
